Miss America says Clinton should give up his crown

Miss America says President Clinton should relinquish his crown if he committed perjury, and she's not getting into trouble for saying so.

"If the president lied under oath I think he should resign," Kate Shindle said. "And I don't know whether he did, I haven't had time to read the entire Starr report, but if the president lied under oath then the president knows it."Years ago, a Miss America who made such a bold statement about a political leader may have been censured or reprimanded. But the pageant has been striving to shed Miss America's beauty-queen image.

Having been praised by pageant CEO Leonard Horn as a courageous, outspoken woman for her stands on AIDS, it is unlikely she will face any repercussions for her comments about Clinton.
